The parts manufacturing quality is top notch, and the finished model reflects this. The color instruction manual was very good, though some of the parts pictured were a bit hard to orient in the building process based on their depiction (ex. I couldn’t tell if the small planetary gears in the engine should be mounted with their raised centers facing up or facing down based on the illustration, but some fiddling sorted things out — the raised center goes on the bottom). Also, there are quite a few extra screws and washers left over at the end of the build, so don’t be alarmed when you see this. It’s likely because the various fasteners are so tiny, you’ll lose a few to your lap or the carpet. Tweezers are imperative! Additionally, though basic hex wrenches and a tiny screwdriver are included in the kit, needle-nose pliers are not, and will be needed in places. Furthermore, the little bottle of lubricant included didn’t go as far as I would’ve liked given all the moving parts in the kit so I ended up supplementing a small tube of dielectric grease I had lying around in my toolbox after the supplied lube ran out. I realize this engine kit is for display and not actual running, but it still felt good to lubricate the cylinder walls and gears and stuff just the same. I used a thin-tipped model paintbrush to apply it and this worked way better than say, a q-tip. Lastly, I spent $10 and ordered a more snazzy propeller for my engine. I didn’t care for the weird, shiny metallic, pink(!) one that came in the kit. It’s 7” long, so I ordered the 7” diameter, 3-bladed one shown in my video (link below), and drilled it out to be a press-fit on the model’s prop shaft. Worked great and looks cool, I think. Have fun with this kit! It requires a good 6-hour build time, is a bit fiddly in places, but satisfying to assemble and not impossible for the STEM student science fair project, or (like me) a grown airplane geek who wanted a nifty desk piece. Propeller substitution: https://a.co/d/cAmo5Uj Review: expensive but solid model to build - we waited for a decrease in price and were able to get a small percentage off - so we purchased for our teenage son who enjoyed putting it together. it is very detailed and takes a little bit of time to put together but it runs beautifully and is a nice break from any electronics ## Features - Wonderfully Detailed Model: Our 5-Cylinder Radial engine model kits feature genuine precision-cast and machined parts in anodized aluminum and stainless steel. Each piece is accurate, detailed and directly correlates to assemblies found in modern, high-performance automobile engines. This is a superb introduction into engineering and mechanics. - Complete Accessories: The kit contains over 230 parts. Each finely-crafted part is labeled, and packaged in custom foam carriers to ensure they are organized, complete, and undamaged. A clear, full-color instruction manual is included. While the engine is complex, step-by-step instructions – along with some patience – ensure excellent results. - Simulation Model: A real electric motor inside the starter motor housing drives the 5-Cylinder Radial engine. The crankshaft, rods and pistons can be observed through special viewing windows. You can observe the operation of the 5-Cylinder Radial engine during the whole process. It is not only a beautiful decoration, but also a simulation dynamic model that can simulate the operation of a real 5-Cylinder Radial engine. Even when not in motion, it is an impressive machine to see. - Excellent Learning Activity: This kit is not recommended for unsupervised children under the age of 14, due to its small parts. However, it provides a great opportunity for adults to spend time with children. The child will learn to understand and follow illustrated instructions, manipulate parts and basic tools, and to know the accomplishment of a job well-done. It fosters an appreciation for the ingenuity in today’s technology as well as the need for it in coming generations. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CZNQ1Y4G | | Age Range Description | Teen | | Art Craft Kit Type | Engineering Model Kit | | Best Sellers Rank | #308,619 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #2,856 in Educational Science Kits | | Brand Name | TECHING | | Color | silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (21) | | Item Dimensions | 7.83 x 4.49 x 7.83 inches | | Item Type Name | Model Kit | | Manufacturer | TECHING | | Material Type | Metal, Stainless Steel | | Model Name | 5-Cylinder Radial Engine | | Number of Pieces | 230 | | Product Style | Box | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Size | 7.83 x 4.49 x 7.83 inches | | Subject Character | Aircraft Engine | | Theme | STEM | | UPC | 716035534082 | | Warranty Description | 1 | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Teen - **Brand:** TECHING - **Color:** silver - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.83 x 4.49 x 7.83 inches - **Theme:** STEM ## Images ![TECHING Jet Engine Model Kit 5-Cylinder Radial Engine Model Kit That Runs Mechanical Metal Assembly DM116 230+pcs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GzTURg1RL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What age group is this model kit suitable for?** A: This kit is recommended for ages 14 and up due to the small parts and complexity of assembly.

Fun to assemble. *by A***R on January 2, 2026* Nice model with a few minor complaints so no 5 stars. The instructions are generally good but in a few spots they could've done a blowup to ensure proper orientation. Also, in two places there's a message in red print but only in Chinese with no translation. Google Translate to the rescue but this shouldn't be this way. I agree with other reviewers about the pushrods falling out too easily. Must pick up this thing very carefully. ## Frequently Bought Together - TECHING 5-Cylinder Radial Engine Model Kit That Runs Mechanical Metal Assembly - Nifeliz HOONIKEN Model Car Set, Colletible Building Toy for Adults, for Car Lovers and Muscle Car Fans (3141 Pieces - Nifeliz V8 Engine Building Set, Exclusive Advanced Collector's Engine Model, Physical Science Experiment Toy for Adults, Home or Office Décor (2725 PCS, NF10287) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/624635022-teching-jet-engine-model-kit-5-cylinder-radial-engine-model](https://www.desertcart.at/products/624635022-teching-jet-engine-model-kit-5-cylinder-radial-engine-model) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
